Autonomous Vital Signs Monitoring for Home Care
Bringing Home the Value of Continuous Monitoring
There are many reasons why home is an ideal place for healing. But “hospital- at-home” programs must overcome a number of hurdles, ranging from patient compliance issues to avoidable hospital readmissions to nervous loved ones. Autonomous, contact-free, continuous vital signs monitoring can provide the support these patients need in the most comfortable, cost-effective settings — their own homes.
Improve Outcomes
Detect deterioration to reduce hospital readmissions and transfers amongst high-risk patients.

Optimize Patient Compliance
Simple, autonomous operation makes it easier for patients to comply with home monitoring — and to qualify for it.

Reduce Cost of Care
Help avoid unnecessary hospitalizations, meet quality metrics and take advantage of Medicare/Medicaid reimbursement.

Provide Peace of Mind
Give patients’ loved ones added confidence in their care and wellbeing.

Help Reduce Hospital Readmissions with Continuous Monitoring at Home
Patients with chronic respiratory issues are known to be frequent users of Emergency Departments.11,22 Continuous heart and respiratory rate monitoring can help their healthcare providers identify early signs of issues and intervene early, helping to:
- Improve patient clinical outcomes
- Improve hospital financial outcomes by avoiding unnecessary readmissions
Proven Results
Compared to in-hospital care for patients with chronic conditions, studies have associated hospital-at-home programs with:33
- Lower risk of hospital readmissions
- Lower risk of long-term care admissions
- Reduced depression and anxiety
Optimize Patient Compliance
Extend Hospital Care at Home to More Patients
Compliance is a common challenge for remote physiological monitoring at home, with hurdles ranging from cognitive abilities to internet access. Autonomous monitoring can help overcome these challenges with no wearables, no internet required and no manual data entry for the patient. The result? Better care made possible at home — and a larger pool of patients who qualify for it.
Addressing Patient Compliance in Home-Based Care
Evidence suggests patient compliance in home-based telehealth programs can degrade over time, even if it starts out well. Success factors include:44
- System implementation style
- User training and competence in system usage
- Patient health education
And more
Autonomous, contact-free vital signs monitoring can help avoid common obstacles and make home-based monitoring a viable option for more patients.

Reduce Healthcare Costs
Provide Cost-Effective Care at Home
Remote physiological monitoring at home can be affordable for patients and health systems. With continuous vital signs monitoring, you can provide the support to help keep patients healthy at home and intervene in lower-acuity settings at the earliest signs of a problem.
- Avoid penalties stemming from hospital readmissions
- Help patients take advantage of Medicare/Medicaid reimbursement

Add Confidence for Patients and Their Loved Ones
Approximately 92 million Americans are living with chronic respiratory or cardiovascular disease.5566 77 88 99 1010 This population benefits greatly from 24/7 heart and respiratory rate monitoring — but this level of monitoring is far from feasible for their loved ones providing care at home. Autonomous, continuous monitoring adds a layer of support and connects patients to their healthcare providers when help is needed.
Heart and Respiratory Rate Matter
Cardiovascular disease, COPD, Covid-19 and pneumonia are just a few chronic conditions that can benefit from home-based monitoring of heart and respiratory rate. Learn how the XK300 can monitor these vital signs — continuously and autonomously.

The XK300 uses radar monitoring to track heart rate, respiratory rate and more — continuously and autonomously — and then securely sends the data to a physician or monitoring provider. No wearables. No entering data into a portal. Just simple, accurate, FDA-approved monitoring from the comfort of home.
